A true expert in labor and employment law

Rick Brown's nearly five decades of experience were invaluable when our company faced a complex union organizing campaign. His dual JD/MBA from Alabama gave him a practical, business-focused perspective that went beyond just legal advice. His recognition in labor and employment litigation is well-deserved. While his response time can occasionally be slower due to his caseload, the strategic guidance he provided was exceptional and helped us navigate the situation successfully.
